I hate the term "green". Seems like a scam/ marketing ploy to me. It is too bad though, because being environmentally conscious is important for your pocketbook and the planet. We make choices every day, and those choices can have a big impact.

We do what we can- reuse grocery bags, recycle, drive fuel efficient vehicles (well except the 993 which is a gas sucking hog, but it isn't my daily driver), and invest in upgrades and appliances that make our home more energy efficient. Really no reason not do do these simple things. We also volunteer regularly to pick up trash along the river, and do other things to help keep our community tidy.

I am seriously thinking about adding solar power to our home, but still have to do a little more cost benefit analysis.

I remember all the ads from the 60s, like the crying Indian and such. They had a big impact on me. We have come a long way since then- so whatever bandwagon (Green) gets the current generation to take these issues seriously, I guess that is good. I wish folks would do more.

I like this quote--"Save the planet, recycle an old Porsche"
